Despite the humanitarian tragedy that the war against Iraq is causing, the majority of the European Parliament has unfortunately not adopted proposals by our group that sought to condemn this unjust, illegitimate and illegal war, which has been decided on unilaterally, in total breach of international law and against the majority opinion of the peoples of the entire world.
The proposals that called for an end to the bombardments and for a return to international legality were also rejected, as were those suggesting that the war now underway is a disaster for the region as a whole and for the entire world because it constitutes a threat to international security and runs the risk of creating permanent instability in the region, of causing the fragmentation of Iraq and of heightening tension, also leading to the resurgence of terrorism.
Consequently, so little remained that it would be preferable to maintain the position adopted on 30 January, in which the majority of Members of the European Parliament affirmed their commitment to the United Nations’ remaining at the centre of the world order and roundly condemned a unilateral war.
We shall continue to fight against war, and to ensure its immediate cessation for the sake of peace."@en1
